After 4 years of successfully avoiding covid, it finally got me. My test was not positive, but others in the household did test positive today, and I have very mild symptoms so far. Had to cancel my attendance on a work trip this week that I organized, and the successive vacation afterwards.

2 years is good? My standards for product quality must be too high.

No specific advice on TCL, but in my experiences with smart TV's, I hate them. I was in the market this year for a new non-smart TV after my experiences with smart TV's, but I guess those aren't made anymore. I've resorted to disconnecting the TV from wifi and plugging in a Roku stick or similar and...

I find what's happening in that photo to be no more offensive or creepy than any Halloween costume, and kids and adults LOVE those! I'm less offended at what's happening in the photo above than I am offended at say, Ronald McDonald's purpose.

I bet the airline would be thrilled to learn of people getting more angry at the larger person, instead of getting angry at the airlines for creating a situation where everyone is squeezed into these increasingly shrinking seats. I guess it's easier to blame the person next to you for your discomfor...

G G has the greatest “shtick” but this Paul makes me think he only has internet access from the library when “Mrs. Paul” lets him out.

Oh, there's no Mrs. Paul.

Right, because she goes by her maiden name and that infuriates Paul.

Not long ago, I was shopping at a Meijer. I was in there for not quite an hour. When I went to check out, the only lanes that were open were self checkout lanes. There was not a single one with someone at a register who could help you bag, give change intelligently, or other things that service peo...

I think country is the new CHR. That's why you see so many stations flipping to it in even the most crowded markets. It's popular in rural communities and then you have your "concrete cowboys" in the city. CHR is in a rut, contemporary rock blows donkey ass, the demo for "fossilized rock" is dying ...

Since Smooth Jazz was mentioned, some veteran staff from the old WJZZ Detroit have started a streaming station called WJZD. I haven't listened very much as Smooth Jazz isn't quite my bag, but I found it interesting. https://www.wjzdradiodetroit.com/

Reminds of Seinfeld where Elaine uses Mrs. Seinfeld's urine sample for a drug test and after the analysis, her boss tells Elaine she's menopausal, has the metabolism of a 68 year old woman, and that she may have osteoporosis.

There's a few along 94 on the east side.

I have no problem with inoffensively placed commercials. Creative and interesting programming created by humans deserve a revenue stream. Apps that play multiple intrusive ads the moment I start playing the station frustrate me to no end, especially when the ads are placed over content that is in pr...

I don't know how anyone could stand listening to that boring, sleepy stuff. :x :x :x The death of the B/EZ format might be the best thing to have ever happened to FM radio. With all due respect, I don't know how anyone can stand having their eardrums blasted by heavy metal. But we're all different....
